More Info:

The color green can represent many things. It can symbolize money, of course, but also weed. And envy. It implies newness, the rebirth of spring, but it can also evoke illness and infection. It抯 an apt name for a band that is defined by its adaptability, by its knack for doing many different things all at once. On the Color Green抯 second full-length梩heir first as a quartet梩hey ground their cosmic jams in earthy melodies, drawing from ?60s SoCal folk-r0ck, ?70s classic rock, ?80s underground rock, ?90s psychedelic dance-rock, and many other sources. In the two years the band has been touring, it has already shared stages with a range of groups that reflect both the sophistication and the wild malleability of their sound, including Fuzz, Kikagaku Moyo, Circles Around the Sun, and Young Guv. 揥hen we play live, I don抰 really know what抯 going to happen,? says guitarist Noah Kohll. 揧ou really have no idea what you抮e going to get with this band, which keeps things fresh for us and maybe makes the live experience special.? Adds drummer Corey Rose, 揙ne thing about this band that I really appreciate is that we can camouflage into any environment or any show. We can play with Hiss Golden Messenger and lean into that funky country vibe, or we can play with the Brian Jonestown Massacre and get evil. We all love a variety of music, so let抯 not put ourselves in a box.? That wild, mercurial quality is reflected on Fool抯 Parade, a meditation on loss, grief, confusion, frustration, and the clarity to which they all lead. Their songs are vehicles for self-explorations, not just a means of putting their feelings into lyrics and notes but molding them, night after night, into different shapes to get different insights. 揑 feel like that抯 the endless spiritual journey of this band,? says Madden. 揟here抯 always this thing that is mysterious, that you can never put your finger on. Music is a way to give yourself ground within the unknown. It抯 a way to convene with something outside yourself, whether you call that the muse or God or the collective unconsciousness or whatever. Maybe that抯 relatable to people because we live in a very noisy and confusing world. Everybody抯 trying to find that ground.?
